Santa has donned flying gear to help the Sunderland Trust raise funds for its exciting heritage projects in Pembroke Dock.

To promote its Christmas Fundraising Fayre on Friday, December 7, the Trust has called up its Sunderland airman character to take on a seasonal red suit - and an attendant seagull also sports a red bobble hat.

The Fayre is being held at the Trust's themed Glass House Coffee Shop at the new Fleets to Flying Boats Centre at The Terrace, in Pembroke Dock's former Royal Dockyard.

Handmade gifts, crafts and cakes will be for sale, along with books, prints and a unique selection of stock from the Trust's own shop.

"We welcome items for sale - handmade crafts, jams and preserves, cakes and mince pies, Christmas decorations and paper - all will help raise funds for the Trust's heritage initiatives," said Judith Davies, of the Sunderland Trust Team.

Items can be donated by calling the Trust office on 01646 684220, or brought along on the day.

The Sunderland Santa character is the creation of Sunderland flying boat enthusiast Robert Dunnett, of Cogent Partnership in Kent, one of the Trust's earliest and most dedicated friends and supporters.

The Fayre is open from 10 am to 4 pm and refreshments can also be enjoyed in the Glass House Coffee Shop, which is run by Sunderland Trust volunteers.
